News
Media Access To LCSC
Property
Lewis-Clark State College
encourages the news media to
visit the campus. It is the
college’s policy to be as
helpful as possible to the
news media while upholding
the college’s mission of
teaching and learning, while
maintaining the reasonable
privacy expectations of
students and others. The
media does not have a right
to indiscriminate access to
LCSC buildings or other
college-owned facilities.
Procedures
- Television crews must seek
permission from the College Communications
Office to videotape or broadcast live from
campus to ensure there is no interference of
college activities or classes. Such permission
generally will be granted for exterior work as
long as it does not interfere with college
operations. In certain situations, LCSC may
limit television broadcasting to specific
locations.
- In general, representatives of
the news media not using cameras do not need
permission to enter the campus or to take exterior
still photographs for news purposes. However, access
may be denied or limited, and pool cameras or
reporting may be required, during an emergency or in
situations when LCSC, state, city or local emergency
officials determine that unrestricted media access
may become inappropriately disruptive. LCSC’s first
priority is with its students, faculty and other
members of the LCSC community to carry out their
activities with a reasonable expectation of privacy
and normality while remaining free to speak openly
with the media if they choose to do so.
- News media representatives must
seek permission from the appropriate office (College
Communications or the individual divisions) if they
want to enter classrooms, laboratories or similar
facilities for the purpose of reportage. Such
permission generally will be granted as long as the
reporting activities do not disrupt college
activities; interfere with the privacy of students,
patients, faculty or staff; or jeopardize the safety
of college personnel, visitors or facilities.
Residence halls are closed to news media except with
special advance arrangement from both the College
Communications Office and the Residence Life Office.
- The College Communications Office
may provide The Pathfinder with special access to
information or events, in recognition of its unique
role as the student-run campus newspaper.
Permission to shoot in interior spaces is required in all circumstances.
This includes:
- Residence halls
-
Libraries
- Classrooms
- Dining Areas
- Student Union
Building
- Administrative buildings
- Athletic facilities
- Laboratories
- President’s Home
- Center for Arts & History
Permission must be obtained from individual faculty for
classrooms and by supervisors for labs. This policy applies to any
type of photography: stills, video and film.
Guidelines for Commercial, Non-News Filming
or Photography
All commercial, non-news photography or
videotaping must be approved in advance by the College
Communications Office.
